2:4 Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know ⁵  that God’s kindness leads you to repentance? 2:5 But because of your stubbornness ⁶  and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed! ⁷

[1:18]  ¹ tn The genitive ἀνθρώπων could be taken as an attributed genitive, in which case the phase should be translated “against all ungodly and unrighteous people” (cf. “the truth of God” in v. 25 which is also probably an attributed genitive). C. E. B. Cranfield takes the section 1:18-32 to refer to all people (not just Gentiles), while 2:1-3:20 points out that the Jew is no exception (Romans [ICC], 1:104-6; 1:137-38).

[1:18]  ² tn “Their” is implied in the Greek, but is supplied because of English style.

[1:18]  ³ tn Or “by means of unrighteousness.” Grk “in (by) unrighteousness.”

[1:26]  ⁴ tn Grk “for their females exchanged the natural function for that which is contrary to nature.” The term χρῆσις (crhsi") has the force of “sexual relations” here (L&N 23.65).

[2:4]  ⁵ tn Grk “being unaware.”

[2:5]  ⁶ tn Grk “hardness.” Concerning this imagery, see Jer 4:4; Ezek 3:7; 1 En. 16:3.

[2:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”

[2:22]  ⁸ tn Or “detest.”

[3:21]  ⁹ tn Νυνὶ δέ (Nuni de, “But now”) could be understood as either (1) logical or (2) temporal in force, but most recent interpreters take it as temporal, referring to a new phase in salvation history.

[3:21]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “being witnessed by the law and the prophets,” a remark which is virtually parenthetical to Paul’s argument.

[5:9]  ¹¹ tn Grk “having now been declared righteous.” The participle δικαιωθέντες (dikaiwqente") has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.

[5:9]  ¹² tn Or, according to BDF §219.3, “at the price of his blood.”

[5:9]  ¹³ tn Grk “the wrath,” referring to God’s wrath as v. 10 shows.

[5:11]  ¹⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:11]  ¹⁵ tn Or “exult, boast.”

[7:18]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “For to wish is present in/with me, but not to do it.”

[10:5]  ¹⁷ sn A quotation from Lev 18:5.

[14:20]  ¹⁸ sn Here clean refers to food being ceremonially clean.
